Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 37
Advertisement
Another fire blast struck the spider. The spider stopped in its tracks as it let out a pained cry.
Since the skill was on cooldown and Ryder didn't want to waste time, he ran towards the spider with his sword.
"Enraged Slash!" He let out as he swung his sword at the spider whose body had stopped burning.
The sword struck the spider, but the spider still wasn't dead.
He used the flame blast again, but this time from much closer.
The flame blast struck the spider, which was already in pain.
The spider was swinging its legs madly in hopes of striking Ryder, but Ryder protected himself with his sword.
Ryder fought the Spider Queen, but he kept his eyes on its HP as well.
As soon as he saw that the spider had the lowest HP, he slashed his sword with full strength; the sword penetrated the body of the spider, but he didn't stop to see the result as he ran towards the coffin.
He slid off the top of the coffin.
He was stunned to find an old dried up skeleton inside the coffin. A pitch-black Scythe was in the hands of the skeleton.

[+1 Level]
He saw a small notification pop up nearby.
"Sorry bro, I don't have much time." He said as he extended his hand and tried pulling the Scythe. He knew that he didn't have much time.
Since he went through the novice village before, he knew that he would be teleported in front of the novice village Elder,5 minutes after he reached level 5.
He only has 5 minutes to take the Scythe.
He kept trying, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't take the scythe.
"Come on! Move!" He screamed in anger.

The scythe didn't move, but something else moved.
A weak yellow light started shining in the eye sockets of the skeleton.
Ryder noticed it and couldn't help but take a step back as he released the scythe.
He didn't run, though. He pointed his sword towards the Skeleton as he stood in an alert position.
"Will you help me fulfill my last wish?" A voice came out of the skeleton.
Ryder was wondering what was happening when a small screen opened in front of him.
[Special Quest: A quest has been discovered. The mysterious skeleton wants you to fulfill his last wish.
Reward for accepting the quest: Moon Scythe.
Will you accept the question?]
There was a yes or no option below the question on the screen.
"A special quest? Come-on! At least tell me your last wish." Ryder said as he looked at the skeleton, but the skeleton didn't reply.
5 minutes had almost passed away, and his body had started shining.
With no other choice, he clicked on 'Yes' and accepted the quest.
He stepped forward and pulled the Scythe again, but there was no obstruction this time.
He easily got the Moon Scythe this time.
The 5 minutes were over, and he disappeared from his position.
Ryder's surroundings changed as he appeared in the Novice Village.
He was standing in front of the Village Elder.
"Congratulations, young man. You are strong enough to leave this village."
The village Elder spoke, but Ryder's focus was on something else entirely.
He was looking at the notification he received after accepting the quest.
He was informed that he had received a new title. This information made a frown appear on his face as he knew that titles were quite rare.
He opened his stats to see his title.

"What the fuck?" He almost cursed out loud as he saw his stats.
He couldn't understand what was happening.
"Successor of Salem? Was that skeleton Salem? Why have I not heard of him before?" He muttered with a thoughtful look on his face.
He tapped on the title to know more about it.
A different screen opened in front of him.

"Such an OP title. I've had a title before, but that was nothing compared to it. This one is simply amazing." A smile formed on his face.
" Ah, Young man? Are you listening?" The Village Elder tapped on Ryder's shoulder as he didn't get any reaction from him.
"Oh, right.Thanks, Elder. I'm ready to go." Ryder responded.
Although he didn't hear a single word of the village Elder, he knew the gist of it since he went through something similar before.
" Good. Step on the..." Before the elder could even complete his words, Ryder was already standing on top of a circular formation.
The formation started shining brightly, and Ryder disappeared.
He appeared in front of the entrance of his main destination. He was standing in front of the capital city of the Kingdom of Estella.
Before he could even take a step forward, he saw a notification.
[The first person to leave Novice Village: +200 fame points.]
Soon after, he heard a system-wide announcement. He knew it was about to come from the moment he got that Scythe.
[First unique Equipment has been discovered in the world of Divinity. The Equipment Ranking is unlocked.]
Ryder had checked his notification panel and saw a Ranking Section there.
[Rank Equipment Grade Owner

8 81The Many Blades of Wuxia
Hundreds of years after the Heretic wars ended, life has returned to its blissful ignorant state that only peace could bring. Whilst the never-ending war between Man, Beast and Mutant rages on, most are not even aware of a war that happened between men. Its prophecies shattered, their remnants surviving only in obscure bard tales. One is about to grow. On the cracked face of the world, Essence storms and Beast Waves keep the citizenry locked atop the Emperor city of Qaelang. Knowledge of the past is as rare as the metals that flow into the hands of Sacred Artists and at the root of it all are whispers of a malignant force, ancient and terrible. Holding humanity back from achieving greatness, but hiding too are secrets best left untouched. Balance, discipline and order have held Qaelang secure since time immemorial, the powers within claiming to adhere to them. None are more fearful of change than the ones with the most to lose, but change is coming. Blade of Wuxia is a long character-focused epic fantasy with progression and growth. It's about a boy's quest to become powerful enough to save those he cares most for and give them a better life. It's set in a world of hidden pasts and uncovering them will set him on a path that shakes the Empire. As this is a rewrite that took on a wildly different spin, reviews are most welcome and help me do better. What can the reader expect? A Wuxia society set in a High fantasy world. People are only doing what they know and may have mistaken beliefs. A clever resourceful protagonist with human flaws A far-reaching hidden fantasy world, rich in history. Multiple points of view are used to follow the story to its natural conclusions, not every NPC has all the answers, but there is one MC in this book. Progression will take time and sometimes even unknowingly. MC is not trained in the ways and knowledge must be tempered against experimentation. Release Schedule. 2 chapters a week, family and work permitting. Only if I'm happy with the chapter will I release it. That being said I am open to revision should an articulated critical response show merit. This story is not completed yet but I do have a general idea of what the end looks like for both MC's (yes both) Ultimately feedback will be most influential on the progression of release as it's you guys I'm looking to entertain. Expected Changes None really, I'm writing as I go and have a path planned for 6 books Chapter release rate might change if we take off and feedback starts flowing, but for now, it is just about making sure Arcs flow smoothly onto the next. Cover, yes absolutely! If there is enough interest I will open a Patreon account and use the first proceeds to commission an EPIC cover and hopefully a few scary artworks of our brave Cultivators and the foes they face.
8 179Star Wars: Downfall
This is my take on what should've happened with Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker. The story is a technical rewrite of "Revenge of the Sith", but it features Ahsoka Tano. Also this IS Anisoka shipped. Please Enjoy :)
